Importance of Setting Boundaries in Sports Parenting
Finding a healthy balance between investment in an athlete's performance and interest in their life outside of sports is crucial. A parent-athlete relationship should prioritize engagement beyond the game and focus on the overall well-being of the child. Educating parents about realistic outcomes and potential limitations can also help manage expectations and foster a healthy perspective on their child's athletic journey. Additionally, acknowledging an athlete's concern about parental love beyond sports can provide reassurance and support.
